A good comedy put on by Speedway kids is a perfect formula for a lot of fun. Speaking of formulas, wonder what kind of formula that was whose theory Dick Kaufman kept exploding in the Junior Play. CCarefull Mr. Troth is still trying to find out.J For Spring F ever that production had a lot of life. That's the Juniors for you, though. Remember the scene where they tied David Thomas to the coat rack? What a riotl Glad things like that don't happen in real life. They don't, do they? You never know about these humans. Charlie Martin as Professor Bean, the bug mad zoologist, interested me. I wonder if he could do anything about my overly healthy crop of fleas. Ronnie Bland and Marge McDaniels made a cute leading couple too but hadn't I remembered them together before that? All those good looking Junior girls on stage didn't detract from the play either. Speaking of one good comedy leads to speaking of another and that takes us back to the play put on by the graduating class of '48. What was the name of that play? Oh, yes, Tattletale.,' It all comes back to me now. Patty, portrayed by Janice Farley, got her secret diary published in the paper under a pen name. The situation may have proved very embarrassing to all those whose names were mentioned in the revealing diary but it proved very laugh provoking to the whole audience, including me. Jim Crumley deserves honor- able mention as chief laugh-getter for that fun-l-illed play, too. That play really had a cast, 23 of them. I'm still proud to think of the class of 348 as my kids.

WHILE THE CRUWDS CI-IEERED but there are two other men who will long live in my memories of this eventful year. Mr. Hogan Nobel and Mr. john Holmstead freely and unselfishly donated many hours in helping Mr. johnson in coach- ing and also scouting opposition. Doing the task just because they ioved the game, for they received no pay, they proved very instru- mental in the teamis victories. Have you ever seen all the football gear there is to a football uniform? Helmets, pads, shoes, pants, etc. Have you ever realized that somebody must be responsible for this equipment and the count- less duties to be done at the games? Yes, these things together make quite a task, but Jack Fuller and VV alter Bishop did a Wonderful job in keeping all the regalia in order. These student managers were a tremendous help to the team and Coach johnson. Itis the enthusiasm and spirit the student body shows for a sport that makes it a success. To create this spirit We must have a good team, and We had that. To display it, We must have good yell leaders. We were again very fortunate, for we had excellent yell leaders, who go under the monikers of Norma jean Sauer, Armedia Fry, Marilyn Smith, and Dee Covell. Yes, they were really OK and I will remem- ber them a long time. VVell, thereis the football season just a fond memory now, but Iill be here next year when again I will hear the click . . . clack . . . click . . . of football shoes and follow Coach Iohnsonis teams to greater peaks of victory. Yell Leaders MARILYN SMITH DEE COVELL ARMEDIA FRY NORMA JEAN SAUER
